Just a heads up, make sure to remove the -shm and -wal files, they are merger files that were meant to be appended and can cause db corruption and performance problems as the profile is pretty much made portable and they will never merge.

Also the standard practice would be for you to create an actual fork of Librewolf with those configs, exporting the profile like this with it's unique identifier and everything can get problematic if many people will use it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, I've been meaning to make this an actual LibreWolf fork but I haven't found any good info on how to fix some issues I've ran into. One of these being when I compile LibreWolf from source it'll freeze up my computer even though I have a lot of swap space and RAM.

Don't know for sure as I haven't built Librewolf, but in Mozilla browsers there is usually a .mozconfig file in which you set your build options, one of those options can limit the number of jobs, ie build threads - if you have a lot of jobs you need a lot of RAM for each of them, especially at linking time, and swap may not help.
